Archived from groups: rec>autos>makers>chrysler (more info?)

I wanted to ask a question about my 300m and since it's mainly a bunch
of crickets here at this point, I thought I'd google for some 300m
web-forums (I seem to recall that there was at least one) and I found
this:

http://www.300mclub.org/

But they want a crazy/insane $15 to join (that is so 1990's thinking -
did someone tell them the dot-com bubble burst a decade ago?) so I'm
wondering if there's a good alternative.


My question is -> there's an intermittent knocking sound coming from the
rear-passenger side wheel or wheel-well (that's the best i can localize
it while driving). It sounds like someone giving a good whack to an
empty coffee can. Seems to happen while driving over uneven pavement.
I'd like to know what rear suspension part is likely causing this noise.

Yes. I am amazed how light the volume is on this group. It looks like
the "heydays" were around the turn of the century. I wonder where
everyone went? I especially miss the Chrysler techs that used to
frequent this group. They provided valuable info.

Not only in this forum.

Usenet is on the way out, it seems.

The neat thing about USENET was it was one stop shopping for the topic
of your choice.

Today you have to mine a bunch of web forums with varied rules and
restrictions for a single topic to sometimes find your answer.

What killed USENET for me was the pounding it took by spammers for an
extended period of time.

I wonder if maybe the LH cars are so trouble free that there's really
not a lot of stuff that people need to talk about, repair-wise.

And yes, I wonder what happened to Glenn (max power) the chrysler tech
that used to read this group.

I posted my question to this web-forum:

http://www.chryslerforum.com/forum/300m-concorde-lhs-new-yorker-19/

And as you can see, it's had 964 views since I posted it on Dec 22, and
not a single reply (except for my own reply).

What's really strange when you look at some of the posts there, you've
got a post "Help Please" posted on Dec 5 that has 2379 views - and not a
single reply. How does that happen? Are they counting views made by
robots and search engines?

Unfortunately the spammers and trolls eventually chased most folks away.

If a mere $15 is too much for you, I would suggest opening up your own
free 300m website. Server costs, internet access, electricity, backups,
and redundancy are all free, now that the "1990's" are over, right? It
should be easy sailing with your 2000's expertise.

What do your CV joints look like?

If you're seeing spam when you read usenet, then you're using the wrong
NNTP server.

I see no spam here in this group...

Lots of people out there operating servers pertaining to different
topics - all of them free.

They get their revenue from ad-based crap I suppose.

There are CV joints on the back wheels?
